[Optometry & Vision Science]

CALL FOR PAPERS

Optometry and Vision Science is soliciting papers for a Feature Issue.

"Glaucoma: Research Spotlight on Patient Care"

Deadline for submission October 1, 2007

A feature issue provides the opportunity for your work to be published
alongside similar subject matter. Past feature issues of OVS have included a
number of important and highly cited papers.

It is intended for the feature issue to reflect the considerable research
activity and practitioner interest in strategies for glaucoma diagnosis,
management, prevention and general exploration of novel approaches that
impact caring for patients with glaucoma. 

In particular, we are interested in manuscripts on the following topics as
they relate to glaucoma:

* Epidemiology and risk factors
* Evaluation and quantification of glaucomatous vision loss (vision function
and visual fields) and quality of life issues.
* Evaluation and quantification of glaucomatous structural damage (optic
nerve head and retina)
* Electrophysiological and other objective measures 
* Detection of progression 
* Structure - function relationships 
* Genetics
* Cellular and molecular mechanisms
* Neuroprotection 
* Biomechanics of the optic nerve head, sclera and/or anterior segment

Manuscripts will be peer reviewed and must be submitted online at
http://ovs.edmgr.com. They should be prepared according to the instructions
to authors available through the web site homepage. 
Indicate in the "author's comments" that your paper is being submitted for
this feature issue.

Guest Editors:
Brad Fortune, OD, PhD 
William A. Hare, OD, PhD
Allison M. McKendrick, MScOptom, PhD
Robert N. Weinreb, M.D

Brad Fortune will be coordinating review of submitted articles in conjunction
with the Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor. Please contact the Editorial
